Welcome To My Blog!

This website is an extension of my Duck + Goose Call Website located at http://www.kellyskalls.com/.

Kellys Kalls Custom Duck Call + Goose Calls Blog

This blog is my Custom Hunting Call Story and all that comes with it. "The Art of Duck Calls, Goose Calls. Childrens Calls, + Duck Whistles."

Custom Duck calls from Kellyskalls.com featuring custom made duck and goose calls with carved wood and acrylic game call parts that are of heirloom quality. My site is one of best sites out there for goose calls, duck calls, Micro-Miniature Calls,and Mini Calls that hunters and collectors out there need and want.

From time to time I will post stories about the Art of Call Making, I will show not only my work but the works of fellow call makers. The vast majority of Duck and Goose calls are made over seas in large plants manned by folks that do not claim English to be their native tounge.

Custom call makers be they Duck Calls, Goose Calls , Turkey Calls, Deer Calls etc. Are one of the great original American folk arts.

Today there has been a resurgance of sorts of custom call making by folks like myself that enjoy the art and love working with various materials to make what we call Custom Calls. There will also be stories about the sport we love and the people that make it a joy to be part of, Like I said in my first Post.

This is a work in process, The first few steps on a journey,

Thanks for coming along, Kelly (KellysKalls.com)

WOODIE CALLS aka Wood Duck Calls

Man I have to tell you when Kent Cullum of Hobo Calls http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hobo-World-Championship-Duck-Calls/155870142005called me to tell me that he won the first Team RealDuck http://www.teamrealduck.com/contest that he had every competed in using one of my Woodie calls I was jazzed. The idea for the Woodie call came to me in one of those "Eureka Moments" while driving one day, I came home and proceeded to try my idea out and shazaaaam, It was a winner. I sent Kent one of my calls to use in the contest and the rest is history. Since his win I have had several requests for the calls, Not setting any sales records but that will come around I am sure. Check out the three Woodies in the pics on here, Yep, Thats Ivory not acrylic on that African Blackwood Woodie................ Nice huh!!

Charlie Hess and Kevin Hampton

Seems like the world is just ripping by and not even thinking about slowing down. I lost two friends recently that were a big part of my call making business and also members of my group of buddies that loved this sport as much as I do. Charlie Hess and Kevin Hampton, Both were men that enjoyed the great outdoors to its fullest and LOVED waterfowling like few others ever do. They loved good calls and great conversations, Charlie, Kevin, You will be missed my friends.
